SW 341 Social Justice: Environmental Justice

The Peoples Climate Movement uses two key strategies to demand bold action on climate change: mass mobilization and movement alignment. The vision includes finding solutions to remedy climate change that are equitable, and universal agreement about the impacts of climate change on the earth and all of its inhabitants.

A First Nations movement to help build sovereignty of nationhood and protect environmental resources.

From the abstract: The environmental and health consequences of climate change, which disproportionately affect low-income countries and poor people in high-income countries, profoundly affect human rights and social justice....Adaptation and mitigation measures to address climate change needed to protect human society must also be planned to protect human rights, promote social justice, and avoid creating new problems or exacerbating existing problems for vulnerable populations.
